An Ariane 5 launcher rocketed through blue skies and into space on 14.5.09 with two European telescopes designed to give scientists unprecedented views of star birth and the relic light from the Big Bang.
The bullet-shaped rocket, powered by a hydrogen-burning main engine and twin solid rocket boosters, lifted off at 1312 GMT (9:12 a.m. EDT) from the European-run spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
